For the youngest patients

Starting early makes the first visit the easy one

Many pediatric dental organizations suggest a first visit when the first tooth appears and no later than the first birthday. That early appointment is mostly about getting comfortable: a quick look, a gentle count of teeth and practical advice about bottles, teething and brushing.

Children who meet the dentist before anything hurts tend to see the dental office as an ordinary part of growing up. Read more about pediatric dental care or see what happens during dental exams.

When something hurts

Knowing the first steps for a dental emergency

A fall at the playground near the Merrimack or a hard tackle at practice can leave a family scrambling. For swelling that affects breathing, serious head injury or bleeding that will not stop, go to an emergency room or call 911.
